Size 14 Skinny Stretch Pants

Yesterday at job that pays but eats my soul (more commonly known as clothing retail) a mother came in looking for a pair of pants for her young, size 16 daughter. She specified they be black and made with stretch material. With out thinking I grabbed the only black pants with stretch in the store. We only had them in a 14 but she said that was fine. Shortly after the girl went into the fitting room I realized that those pants are actually a skinny fit. I had sent an overweight 15 year old girl into the fitting room with stretchy skinny pants a size too small. Slowly recovering from teenage obesity myself I should have been a bit more careful. I ran to grab the "curvy" fit pants we had in a 16 and gave them to her mom.

I guess she tried them on too, but she still came out with red, wet eyes.
